" Twin Studies." -Tho professor very
h,nplly illusiratert that many studies,
such as oral and written, arithmetic,
geography and history, grammar and
composition, should be taujsht together
and notbeseparated. Messrs. Ilolllug -er
and .Votzcr continued tho subject.
Here the chair appointed Messrs.
Barnett and Tinker. a commlttoe to re

Here a recess occurred, which was no
sooner announced, than many of the

Prof. Allen hire. intervened and en
livened the convention by veiv interest-

pernicious luvblt of schools' following a
book lesson. Including to arithmetics
ho thought they might be reduced to fif
ty pages, .that not oue bnv lu ten thou-

took up "Class Recitation" and devel
oped the three following point's: 1st. The

a recess was declared. J n a short time
the Engine had shown off to, advantage
and was removed io the Mansion House,
when Institute resumed work again by
singing "Home sweet Home." Miss
Biowster was then introduced and read
an essay on "Picking up Chips," three
points were developed, 1st. Chips of ex
perience; 2nd. Chips of thnoryj 3rd.
Chips of knowledge. The lady deserves
much credit .for tho able manner in
which tho subject was treated, the clean

together for the last day's work of tlio

followed by reading the minutes of

opened and Prof. Allen led oil by ans
wering a large nutuuer of questions,
among which was one, wrltteu by a
member who should havo a dictionary,
viz: ''What Is the meaning of hetroge

Mr. n. veiy eloquently showed the ne
